"This morning dad told me to go over to grandmother's and
get those papers. You know; the ones in that big property deal which
has been hanging fire so long. Grandmother has the papers in her safe.
The deal is to be closed to-day. I promised dad I'd go, but I forgot
all about it, and now the fellows want me to go to the ball game with
them.
"If you'll go over to grandmother's and get the papers I'll buy you a
two-pound box of the best chocolates-- honest, I will. And you can get
the papers as well as I can. Grandmother expects one of the family
over after them to-day, and she has them all ready.
"You can go just as well as I can-- better, in fact, and dad won't
care as long as he gets the papers. You're to take them to his office.
Will you do it for me, Sis? Come on, now, be a sport, and say yes."
"But it's so hot, and Betty, Amy, and Mollie are here with me. I don't
want to go all the way over to grandmother's after some tiresome old
papers. Besides, it was your errand, anyhow."
"I know it, Sis, but I don't want to miss that game. It's going to be
a dandy! Come on, go for me, that's a good fellow.
